Ebola Reston
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
Ebola Reston is a strain of the Ebola virus, named after an outbreak that occurred in Reston, Virginia during 1989. Monkeys imported from the Philippines eventually ended up in the Reston facilities of Hazleton Research Products, where the outbreak occurred.
This specific strand of the Ebola virus caused a rather large panic, but after containment, eventually it was discovered that this specific strand of the Ebola Virus, although resemblant of Ebola Sudan, only infected monkeys. It is indistinguishable under a microscope, and just as powerful, as it killed all the monkeys from the monkey house in Reston.
